Building Reliable Systems at Scale
I'm Daniel Beck. I build platforms, products, and the tooling in between. My focus is frontend architecture at scale: micro-frontends, design systems, and the developer experience that holds it together. Lately I've been deep in AI-augmented engineering, building agent systems that help write, test, and ship code.
